Spotify Playlist #1

For the first of a sporadic series of Spotify playlists I will be making, I have decided to start off with a ‘50 from 50′. This is quite simply a track each from 50 albums that I adore & keep coming back to, or simply find catchy right now. It’s something of an eclectic list but all of the albums are worth listening to at least once, and many are worth loving forever. I guess the playlist is something of a taster (of my taste in music) to whet the appetite:

What are your top albums/tracks right now?
